Nicolas Sarkozy

Title: President of France

Age: 52

Marital status: Twice married and divorced

Interests: Anglo-Saxon economic reform, jogging, the United States of America

Why you’d want to date him: He’s always the center of attention. Sarkozy first made waves in France for his 1983 remark, “I’ve screwed them all!” (He was referring to his upset victory in a mayoral election.) In a country where nearly half of all marriages fail, it’s not surprising that the French met Sarko’s recent divorce from Cécilia—and her public admission of a 2005 affair with events organizer Richard Attias—with massive indifference. In a poll taken just after the divorce was announced, 79 percent found the matter of "little or no importance" in French politics, and 92 percent of those polled said the Sarkozys’ breakup didn’t change their minds about the president. Now footloose and fancy-free, Sarko is focusing his considerable energies on facing down France’s entrenched public-sector unions. Though he says he was elected only to “work, work, and work more,” Sarkozy doubtless misses having a partner who once controlled “everything from his schedule to his diet,” according to the New York Times. Now, it appears the French leader is looking for love in the transatlantic relationship. But while standing ovations from the U.S. Congress are nice, they can’t keep you warm at night.

Condoleezza Rice

Title: U.S. Secretary of State

Age: 53

Marital status: Single, never married

Interests: Foreign affairs, enforcing message discipline, classical piano, NFL football, going to church and the gym

Why you’d want to date her: She’s organized, smart, and determined, not to mention she’s probably the most powerful woman in the world. Her fashion choices, such as the knee-high “dominatrix” boots she occasionally favors, have enthralled the media, an issue that Zbigniew Brzezinski probably never had to confront. Condi keeps her personal life tightly under wraps, though in her younger years she demonstrated a fondness for football stars. According to biographer Marcus Mabry, Condi nearly married 1975 NFL Rookie of the Year Rick Upchurch, but as a friend told Mabry, in the end “she knew [the relationship] wasn’t going to work on an intellectual level.” Accounts of her 1980s romance with Gene Washington vary, though some friends and family say the ex-49er had marriage potential. Though Miss Rice has remained single, she once reportedly slipped and referred to her boss and close confidant George W. Bush as “my husband” at a Washington dinner party. Her martial status became an issue again in January 2007 when California Sen. Barbara Boxer insinuated that Condi has paid no “particular price” for her advocacy of the war in Iraq because she has no immediate family. But fellas, if you’re looking to change that equation, know that it’ll take a lot to impress Madame Secretary—Chevron once named an oil tanker after her.

Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck

Title: Dragon King of Bhutan

Age: 27

Marital status: Never married

Interests: Incremental political reform, preserving local culture

Why you’d want to date him: He’s Prince Charming. At least, that’s what the Thai press dubbed Namgyal, then a 26-year-old crown prince, during his 2006 visit to Thailand. The Oxford-educated prince became the talk of Phuket as throngs of young female fans tracked his every move. Now the world’s youngest head of state, the Dragon King’s matinée-idol looks and polite manners will almost make you forget that he rules over a devastatingly poor, landlocked kingdom right in the center of the Himalayas; GDP per capita is a paltry $1,400 and the kingdom didn’t have television until 1999. King Namgyal is a modernizer, however, and aims to raise living standards by promoting what he and his father call “Gross National Happiness.” If you think you can raise the king’s own gross happiness, book your trip now: Bhutan permits only about 6,000 foreign visitors each year. And if you really want to be the Dragon Queen, you’d better be prepared to share the title. Namgyal’s father had four wives, all of whom were sisters.

Michelle Bachelet

Title: President of Chile

Age: 56

Marital status: Single, divorced once

Interests: Playing the guitar, women’s rights, socialism (although she enjoys opening Chile’s markets to foreign investors), and languages—she speaks Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, and French

Why you’d want to date her: She’s tough, smart, and ambitious. In 1975, former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet’s secret police interrogated and tortured Bachelet for being the daughter of an advisor to the ousted Salvador Allende. After her release, she and her mother were exiled to Australia and then moved to East Germany. Bachelet returned to Chile in 1979 and became a pediatrician, surgeon, and epidemiologist. She entered the government in 1990 and worked her way up to become minister of health in 2000 and Chile’s first female minister of defense in 2002. In 2006, she won the presidency despite being a socialist, agnostic divorcée in deeply conservative and Catholic Chile. Forbes now ranks her as the 27th most powerful woman in the world. If you aren’t a family man, don’t bother pursuing her—Bachelet dotes on her three children. In any case, her taste in men is somewhat fickle: She has dated both Communists and right-wing Pinochet supporters.

Hugo Chávez

Title: President of Venezuela

Age: 53

Marital status: Divorced twice

Interests: Singing, denouncing the imperialist devil, nationalizing key industries

Why you’d want to date him: He’s a hopeless romantic. If you’re the type of girl for whom anti-American rhetoric is an aphrodisiac, then this 53-year-old former paratrooper is the man for you. Ever since his failed 1992 coup attempt, Chávez has been popular with the ladies. Shortly after being released from prison in 1994, he divorced his wife and ended a 9-year-affair with his mistress, Herma Marksman. Though he may be ruthless toward the domestic opposition, Marksman remembers her time with Chávez pleasantly. “He’s the kind of man that showers you with flowers and chocolates, serenades you with romantic songs and never forgets your birthday,” she told the Times of London in a 2006 interview. (She did add that now, “He is imposing a fascist dictatorship.”) If you’d like to be on Chávez’s arm as he drives his country’s economy into the ground, you’d better move fast. Hugo rated as Venezuela’s fifth-sexiest man in a recent poll, and rumors have linked him with Venezuelan model and actress Ruddy Rodriguez despite her claim that she doesn’t even find him attractive. Then again, she might just be jealous of his relationship with Fidel.
